2 SAS Switch The LSI SAS6160 Switch is a ½ wide, 16-port switch that fits into the 1U form factor. The switch extends the capabilities of SAS in direct-attached storage (DAS) environments by allowing multiple servers to connect to one or more independent storage systems. Additionally, with its built-in zoning capabilities, the SAS6160 allows customers to securely share only selected storage resources. The SAS6160 is designed to provide customers with a low-cost and easy to use storage networking option for rack-mount server and storage installations in cloud computing, data center and small- to medium-sized business (SMB) environments. LSI SAS6160 SAS Switch Key features: Provides a new level of functionality for DAS - Cluster-able direct-attach solution - Efficiently connect multiple servers to multiple storage resources Start small, grow big scalability - Lowers acquisition cost without sacrificing expansion capabilities - Supports SAS and SATA connectivity to nearly 1,000 devices Low cost, higher performance storage interconnect - SAS wide bus aggregate bandwidth over 4 lanes - Each connection can run at 2400MB/s Higher bandwidth, lower latency and improved fairness in switched topologies Tiered storage solution with SAS and SATA drives - Efficiently connect multiple servers to multiple storage Reduce complexity with simpler management software Model # / Name Size Ports LSI SAS6160 SAS Switch 1U ½ Wide 16 x4 SFF8088 6GB/s SAS ports (24Gb/s per port) (2 powered Mini-SAS connectors provide active copper cable support) 2

15 Summary The LSI SAS6160 switch provides a new level of functionality for direct attached, SAS-based storage. It allows customers to more easily and cost efficiently share multiple storage resources among one or more servers. The SAS6160 was designed to support: Applications needing shared and pooled storage - Example: Use fewer, larger storage arrays Applications needing increased connectivity - Example: Use multiple switches in a topology Applications needing higher availability - Example: Building a redundant configuration with two switches Configurations using tiered storage solution with SAS and SATA drives Customers wanting to lower storage acquisition cost without sacrificing expansion capabilities Customers wanting to efficiently connect multiple servers to multiple storage Customers wanting to securely share chosen storage resources with selected servers 15
